Jurassic Coast Photography Tour

The Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site has the most varied geology of any coast in the world. On this photography tour we will explore a remarkable variety of coastal landforms such as rock arches, sea stacks, wave cut platforms, cliffs, coves and bays. The tour coincides with spring tides, giving us access to parts of the shore that are rarely exposed for photography.

This tour will run in mid December, giving the potential for lighting conditions that do not occur at other times of year including the opportunity to shoot a sunrise or sunset through Durdle Door. Weather permitting, low midwinter sun provides excellent lighting throughout daylight hours, bringing out rich tones and colours in cliffs and rocks that are not seen at other times. The combination of spring tides with midwinter light offers a unique photographic opportunity to make iconic images on this spectacular coastline. The programme will also include a dawn shoot at the evocative ruins of Corfe Castle.

Indoor sessions will look at composition for coastal landscape photography, the use of high dynamic range to deal with backlit and difficult lighting conditions and stitching images of the same scene with complex foregrounds to create striking panoramas.
